What was your big influencial "scene"?
8 years ago
General
One of my most favorite asks on twitter was having folks post screen captures from the cartoons or artwork that influenced their particular fandom "tastes."

Everyone's got their thing: being giant, being inflatable, transforming into something else...getting fat, muscular or whatever.
And I'm *sure* there was something you saw as a kid on TV, in movies, or on the internet that made you...well, pause and go "holy shit that's awesome." Or, way more than that. You catch my drift. *nod*

Those.
I've been into human-to-animal TFs since I was very young.
• Geeky Albert Mouse from "Twas the Night Before Christmas". Especially the scene where he cries. I wanted to hug him.
• Pretty much all of "The Mouse & His Child".
And just for comparison;

(And the totally spies episode attack of the 50ft Mandy gave me giantess. I loved that show! )
Pretty much this one for vore :D and macro :D
As for glasses and squirrels :D Maybe because i wore glasses and i found squirrels to be extremly ute but also extremely understimated :D

I'm not particularly into any of these as a fetish, but they're so aesthetically pleasing to me. I love super chubby characters, giant/tiny characters, and vore-type scenes. ;v;
A lot of people cite specific moments in it, but... I was spellbound by the whole sequence at a really young age.

Fast forward about 7 years, and the Disney Afternoon started pumping out bodyswap episodes at a rate of 1.3 per series (everything but Gargoyles). A psychologist could probably explain why better than I could, but I noticed these episodes instead of noticing girls.

At around the same time, came the Scholastic book fair, where I made myself a suspicious little bookshelf of 20 or so bodyswap books, with a bit of a focus on the drastic ones like between species, genders, sizes & statuses.
Now here's the fun twist, turns R.L. Stine, the author of Goosebumps, wrote half those books, and 40+ bodyswap stories in & out of the Goosebumps franchise. Then I found his IMDB, and before he wrote Goosebumps, he wrote Eureeka's Castle! It also says that in the Goosebumps movie, R.L. Stine was portrayed by Jack Black, and "Mr. Black" was portrayed by R.L. Stine! I feel like the dude passed the torch, and he definitely owes me a beer.
No one scene specifically, just him.

The Smorgasbord Templeton scene in charlotte's web also stuck in my mind from a young age.
There's also this unique thing that really freaked me out... hell, even today it still gives me chills ..., a specific episode of this Italian cartoon called Tofffsy where a stolen herd of cattle is crammed into tin cans. The "heroes" arriving too late, the creepy sounding mooing effect and the cramming of something big and fat into such a small space... *shivers* It's around the 3:00 mark here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IjRuh0-1bk

In terms of my first taste of macro it was probably the 1988 version of Alice in Wonderland that was made direct to video in Australia, and one of my Disney movies on VHS as I was growing up had a scene from the Alice movie at the beginning. It was the scene where she grows inside the house, 16:50 of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86p1eC6IPCE
Another fond memory was this scene from The Rescuers Down Under where the boy softly tempts the mouse into his hand and then gives him a gentle cheek nuzzle in gratitude. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPdIUQZy9s8 Something about that really spoke to me, I wondered what it would be like to be held by someone that big, and to be treated so kindly and gently. Helped create my love for gentle giants for sure.
And then in terms of inflation in cartoons, oh my god, where to start. There were clay-mation TV shows from the 80s like Trap Door and Bump In The Night that had some good stuff in them that got me interested. From the former there was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6cn9JlNJfU which I'm almost certain made me love the inflation+bursting combo, because I remember turning up the volume and hiding behind the armchair watching excitedly waiting for the thing to get bigger and bigger then explode. And from the latter there was this which I actually only remembered and rediscovered last month, I'd forgotten all about it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSd6RAnLLuk I think that was the first time I'd seen a growth ray leading to room-filling expansion (shame that it's with a brain that looks like a ball-sack, but oh well, I was a kid)
Rocko's Modern Life had so much random inflation gags that was blink and you miss it, but there was of course this absolute gem that was probably the only macro/inflation thing I'd seen at the time and I knew then that I wanted to see more big characters. And he also does his best to be a gentle giant too, so bonus points there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d9dvQqK5ro
Oh, and there was this thing from some "True Horror Stories" animation that was on TV. Some of those episodes scared the life out of me as a kid but this one, well, didn't, haha. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyMKb4lxXA8
And the first time I saw something in the cinema as a teenager that I knew excited me was Mousehunt. There's a vacuum cleaner inflation scene in it that's really good, can't find a clip for it though. But also there was this near the end of the movie. The part where it pans into the auction and the walls are bulging and the music is building, oh man, so tantalising. If I were filming a scene today where somebody is outgrowing the house in an adjacent room, this is exactly how I'd film it, show them filling the room and then pan through the wall to show the bulging wall before it breaks through, and in comes a huge footpaw or something x3 So well done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19WT40D513Q
Hope that other people find these as fun as I did as a kid. Well, actually more fun, because of course as a kid you don't know that you're seeing your fetish, you just know you like that scene but you don't know why. But now we do :3
For me it was definatlye the pyramid of pachyderms scene from dumbo, along with the afore-mentioned stuck scene and to a lesser-degree the pink elephants scene. Also the elephant-crash from jungle book as well. Even from such a young age i felt a weird fixation on it all. I recal stacking toy animals onto eachother's backs and stuff like that, but eventually it grew to more of a butt-fixation from all the clumsy, incidental rump-on-face incidents. It grew into my general butt-fetish that blossomed into...well anyone who follows my on Eka's Portal or DA will know.
